Frightened Rabbit lyrics : "Things"

Here's the evidence of human existence
A splitting bin bag next to damp boxes
I cannot find the name for them

They hardly show that I have lived

And the dust, it settles on these things


Displays my age again
Like a new skin made from old skin

That has barely been lived in

I didn't need these things

I didn't need them, oh
Pointless artifacts
A mediocre past

So I shed my clothes, I shed my flesh

Down to the bone and burned the rest

I didn't need these things
I didn't need them, oh
Took them all to bits, turned 'em outside in

And I left them on the floor and ran for dear life through the door, oh

The useless objects, the gathered a storm of %#@!

A dim and silent shedful of your life's supplies
When all you need's a coffin and your Sunday best


To smarten up the end

And at the front gate, what reward awaits

One bite of a loaf from a holy ghost
An eternity of suffering in the company of all those Christian men


I didn't need these things
I didn't need them, oh
Pointless artifacts from

A mediocre past

So I shed my clothes, I shed my flesh

Down to the bone and burned the rest
I didn't need these things
I didn't need them, oh

Took them all to bits, turned 'em outside in
And I left them on the floor and ran for dear life through the door, oh


Never need these things

I'll never need them, oh

It's just you i need, you my human heat
For the things are only things
And nothing brings me like you bring me, oh

Never need these things
I'll never need them, oh
Never going back, so let's drop the past

And we'll leave it on the floor and run for dear life through the door, oh
